Description

The digital pulsewidth modulation device and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the device and method of digital pulsewidth modulation, relate in particular to apparatus and method about the digital pulsewidth modulation of audio ﹠ video signal.
Background technology
Digital pulse width modulator (PWM) is widely used in entertainment electronics appliances and other field.Existing digital pulse width modulator needs higher pulse width time resolution, for example, arrives in the audio range of 20kHz 0, and it needs the clock frequency of about 100MHz.According to Erick Bresch, there is strong relatively nonlinear distortion in " based on the digital audio frequency power amplifier design of the novel feedback strategy of introducing of-TMS320C67 " that Wayne T.Padgett is shown under the system situation to a high-profile in digital pulsewidth modulation.
When using sigma-delta modulation (SDM), only need lower clock frequency for audio signal, for example 2 arrive 4MHz, it is pulse-density-modulation signal that output signal then trends towards, because it is not suitable for for example D class amplification the impulse density of signal correction, so under the unfavorable situation of pulse, this will cause nonlinear distortion.Especially,, be published in " the power numeral is to analog converting ... " in the electronics literature M.B.Sandler1995 April 31, under the sigma-delta modulation case, can not guarantee it is constant pulse frequency according to A.J.McGrath.
Compare with A, class ab ammplifier, the D class A amplifier A has low-down power loss and is generally driven by pulse width modulating signal.As everybody knows, in order to minimize by the caused distortion of time quantization, digital pulse width modulator needs the high time resolution of pulse width modulating signal.Up to the present, digital input signals decreases on amplitude discrimination by means of many (bit) position sigma-delta modulator, for example 8 bits are fit to the dynamic range greater than 80dB, and the quantized signal that has low resolution is then presented to pulse-width modulator.On the one hand, as mentioning, because the high relatively temporal resolution of pulse width signal (8 bits are corresponding to 256 different pulse durations), so need to surpass the high clock frequency of 100MHz, on the other hand, pulse-the width of Chan Shenging-modulation signal can have nonlinear distortion in this way, because it is not pulse width modulating signal but the amplitude quantization signal of feedback in control loop, so these two signals are fully inequality in the base band scope, that is, arrive in the audiorange of 20kHz 0.Therefore, the quantizing noise for pulse width modulating signal is not suppressed best by the control loop in the sigma-delta modulator.
Except its circuit than the complexity, Jorge Varona according to Toronto ECE university shows, " utilize the power supply number-Mo conversion of sigma-delta and pulse width modulation ", known digital pulsewidth modulation method equally also needs higher working clock frequency.In Fig. 6, what describe is a kind of typical structure of digital pulse width modulator.Because pulse width modulating signal 15 ' linearisation, digital input signals 1 is very advantageously to be inserted in the interpolation filter 10, utilizes the noise shaped device 23 in the sigma-delta modulator to limit on amplitude discrimination then.Yet, because the pulse width modulating signal 15 of 23 pairs of quantifications of noise shaped device ' do not process, and before the pulse width modulation of pulse-width modulator 24 quantized amplitudes signal only, so the pulse width modulating signal 15 of actual quantizing noise and time quantization ' can only be suboptimum be suppressed.Digital pulsewidth modulation signal 15 ' filtering in postfilter 16 subsequently usually is preferably in the amplifier installation (not describing) and carries out after the signal amplification.

That describe among Fig. 3 is embodiment according to another digital pulsewidth modulation of the present invention.Digital input signals 1 can be selected to present to interpolation device 10 equally, preferably interpolation filter, and formation loop input signal 10 '.Then summing junction+, loop signals 21 ' and impose on quantization device 13 is provided.The output signal 13 that quantization device 13 quantizes according to sample rate 14 work and transmission ' to pulse width modulation imaging transformation apparatus 15.
According to the digital pulsewidth modulation signal 15 that in pulse width modulation imaging transformation apparatus 15, produces among Fig. 1 ', send to post-filtering apparatus 16 on the one hand, and on the other hand in feedback control loop 22 summing junction+from loop signals 21 ' subtract each other, produce filter input signal 10 ", filter input signal 10 " filtering in filter apparatus 19, filter apparatus 19 is according to sample rate 12 work.The filter output signal 11 of filter apparatus 19 ' with loop input signal 10 ' addition be used to produce the loop signals 21 of other loop 21 '.According to Fig. 3, the realization of graphic extension be control loop with " Error Feedback " structure that is similar under the sigma-delta modulator situation, filter apparatus 19 is that this structure adopts.

For filter apparatus 11 stablizing under overload situations, can limit by limiter 20 according to the numerical value in Fig. 5 integrator.In addition, resetting can be when pulse width modulation begins, according to the short sequence of 0s control loop 17,17 ', 21,22 input carries out.
That describe in Fig. 7 is another embodiment, its similar embodiment according to Fig. 1.Offer amplifying device 16 operating voltages 25, equally also present to analog-digital converter 26.Digitized then operating voltage 27 also will flow into control loop 17 at phase quadrupler X and digital pulsewidth modulation signal 15 ' multiply each other.
On the other hand, normal D class A amplifier A comes down to the simple switch amplifier, and it does not have operating voltage to suppress and has simple design.Therefore the interference on the operating voltage directly influences output signal and may cause reducing of distortion and weighted signal-to-noise ratio.Yet according to the 4th embodiment, the interference voltage on the operating voltage is digitized.Under the help of this digitlization interference signal 27, in order to compensate, output signal changes and is fed to the form of corresponding conversion the input of pulse-width modulator according to D class output stage 16 then.Because analog-digital converter 26 only digitlization interference voltage, thereby only influence the digital feedback signal 15 of control loop 17 ' pulse amplitude, but do not change feedback signal 15 ' pulse edge, whole dynamic range is not subjected to the restriction of analog-digital converter 26.
Therefore, analog-digital converter 26 can have the resolution more much lower than pulse width modulation modulator.In addition, the stability of digital pulse width modulator is not subjected to the influence of analog-digital converter 26.Output signal distortion or distortion that switching amplifier 16 takes place cause forming interference usually on operating voltage 25.These interference (that is nonideal amplification) are to correct according to the embodiment among Fig. 7.
The effect of amplifier installation 16 can be described as digital pulsewidth modulation signal 15 ' multiply each other with its operating voltage 25.The embodiment of Fig. 7 is based on the simulation of amplifier signal, and wherein the operating voltage 25 of amplifier installation 16 is records digitally, and the amplitude of pulse width modulating signal is and digitlization operating voltage signal 27 is revised in feedback path 17 with multiplying each other.Operating voltage interference or fluctuation is to correct by the feedback in the control loop 17 then.According to Fig. 7, after selecting to insert in interpolation device 10, the digital input signals 1 that amplify is fed to digital pulse width modulator, and this digital pulse width modulator is to make amendment according to the embodiment among Fig. 1.Pulse width modulation imaging transformation device 15 according to the corresponding pulse width modulating signal 15 of pulse width modulating signal 13 ' generation of rudenss quantization '.
The operating voltage 25 of analog-digital converter 26 digital amplifier units 16 and with digital pulsewidth modulation signal 15 ' multiply by it, so its output signal (except that signal level) corresponding to switching amplifier.As a result, digital pulse width modulator is the interference on the writing task voltage 25 also, so suppressed interference by the signal transformation in the control loop 17.Also therefore write down and correspondingly be repaired by the caused self-interference of the switching manipulation of amplifying device 16.Because be selected as significantly less than 1, so that control loop always keeps is stable, because operating voltage 25 does not change (not describing) usually as the voltage drop of crossing over loads in Fig. 7 under identical ratio for the loop gain of self-interference.The resolution of analog-digital converter 26 can be suitable for the dynamic range of operating voltage 25, so that the resolution of pulse width modulating signal is not subjected to the restriction of converter resolution.
The fifth embodiment of the present invention is depicted among Fig. 8, and it is similar to the embodiment according to Fig. 2.Have expansion part among Fig. 7 equally according to the embodiment of Fig. 8, promptly be used for operating voltage 25 is converted into the analog-digital converter unit 26 of digital signal 27, digital signal 27 is passed through phase quadrupler X respectively in two stranded wires 17,17 ' middle coupling.The performance of this differential arrangement with two identical stranded wires is consistent with the embodiment of Fig. 2 basically.Because two amplifying devices 16 suitably provide identical operating voltage, so two signal paths only need an analog-digital converter 16 (not describing) in Fig. 8.
Has diverse design according to the digital pulse width modulator of Fig. 8 and follow-up D class multiplication factor, even the system dynamics scope of utilizing the thick quantification of operating voltage signal 25 also can be kept perfectly fully doubles because disturb.Therefore, the quantizing noise of A-D converter 26 is not exaggerated yet, and for example, has in input under the situation of zero-signal.For the accurate simulation of pulse width modulation output amplitude, promptly accurate as far as possible in order to obtain the amplitude simulation at control loop, the necessary ratio of determining working voltage source 25 internal resistances and amplifier 16 internal resistances.
What describe among Fig. 9 is the sixth embodiment of the present invention, and it is based on Fig. 3 embodiment.Here, revise the generation that also comprises digitized signal 27, it produces in analog-digital converter 26 according to the operating voltage that appears at amplifier installation 16.This digitlization operating voltage signal 27 in control loop 22 with digitlization pulse width modulating signal 15 ' combine with multiplying each other.Utilization is according to " Error Feedback " structure of Fig. 9, and loop filter 19 has the transfer function of modification, as described according to Fig. 3.
Though described the present invention according to several exemplary embodiments as mentioned above, it is not limited to these but can makes amendment in many ways.
For example, because under the situation that the pulse of pulse width modulating signal dynamically is out of shape than hanging down quantity of pulse duration, can corrected value be incorporated into control loop by means of check table, even thereby exist under the situation of the distortion of depending on the pulse duration in the amplifier installation (not shown) fully, also can obtain the linear spectral of digital pulse width modulator.Except that these, the filter apparatus on 4 rank, perhaps 4 and 3 of filter apparatus and quantization device bits are considered to respectively that mode by example provides.According to the present invention, also can easily realize being with and promote blood circulation towards width modulated.
